The Harrisburg Stampede are 2-4 in their inaugural season so far. I guess that isn't good enough as the Head Coach of the team was fired yesterday and replaced by the defensive coordinator.
First of all, let me start by saying, I have not been to a game and I honestly did not know they had played 8 games already. Arena football is a cool idea but I have never really truly gotten into it. Here is my point though, the guy has been coaching for 8 games. This is the teams first year. The one guy on the team I have heard of, (Woody Dantzler, QB) has been injured for the entire season.
Why is the coach being fired already?
Is he really doing that bad of a job?
Now I obviously don't know any of the behind the scenes stuff but this seems a little fishy to me. They have only given this guy 8 games and he has won 2 of the them. I know that isn't a great record but I feel like this guy deserved more of a shot then this. I can't believe an Arena football coach can be judged after 8 games. Is the front office worried that if the team isn't good, the fans aren't going to come? Well, at the last home game there were 2,500 people. That doesn't seem like a lot to me and if that isn't a lot I doubt it's because the team isn't doing very well. Even if it is, I doubt the team isn't doing well because the head coach. Like I said, I'm not an expert on the team or the sport but it seems to me like this guy got a raw deal!

It's worse than that they are 2-4 one game out of 2nd place they've had 2 bye weeks already. I met the former coach at a preseason function, great guy and by all accounts good coach. I only hope this team finds a way to last
